Captain Thomas Fenner (fl.1564 – November 1593) was an English sea captain of the Elizabethan era. He served under Francis Drake in the Anglo-Spanish War, notably commanding a warship during the Spanish Armada. Details of Fenner's life are scant, but after leaving military service in about 1589 he may have involved himself in the financing of merchant ships. The historian David Loades suggests that he died in November 1593 when records mentioning him cease.
